With its color monitor and internal memory the GL800 is a compact, lightweight, multi-channel data logger that provides 20 standard analog measurement channels, expandable to 200. The GL800 is equipped with a large internal flash memory to allow the direct capture of acquired data, and its built-in USB port may be used to connect any standard USB flash drive for incremental capacity. Alternatively, the USB or the integral Ethernet port may be connected to a PC to allow data upload in real time or from memory, as well as local or remote configuration and real time data acquisition. The Ethernet feature includes WEB and FTP server functions, which allows monitoring from a remote location as well as data transfer.

Wide Voltage Measurement RangeEach GL800 analog channel can measure from 20 mV to 50 VFS across eleven programmable measurement ranges.

Full Electrical Isolation Per ChannelEach analog GL800 channel is electrically isolated from all others and from instrument ground to allow accurate and safe measurements in industrial applications where ground potential differences are common.

Voltage, Current, and Temperature Measurement FunctionsUse the GL800 to measure voltages, currents, 4-20 mA process currents, as well as thermocouple- and RTD-based temperatures.

Four Unique ‘Pulse’ Inputs for Discrete MeasurementsThe GL800 provides discrete input channels that can be used for counting and rotational speed measurement applications. Or program the discrete inputs as simple logic level input channels.

Four Alarm OutputsProgram the GL800 to trigger its open-collector outputs as a function of analog input signal level judgment, pulse judgment, or logic pattern.

Wide Sample Interval SelectionsSample intervals can be programmed to be one of sixteen values ranging from 100 ms to one hour.

Bright TFT LCD Color DisplayThe focal point of the GL800 is its built-in 5.7-inch color display that allows real time trending, data review, and complete instrument configuration.

Engineering Units ScalingEach GL800 channel allows up to four break points to be programmed for accurate scaling into meaningful units like psi, grams, newtons, gallons per minute, etc.

Flexible Triggering OptionsThe GL800 allows data capture to be started or stopped based upon signal level, an external event, date/time, alarm, duration, or Boolean channel combinations. Analog signal triggers can be programmed based upon level and window tests: above threshold, below threshold, inside window, or outside window.

Real Time and Post-recorded CalculationsThe GL800 may be programmed to calculate average value, peak value, minimum value, and rms.

Flexible Power RequirementsPower the GL800 from its provided international AC adaptor, from an optional built-in battery pack, or from any 9 to 24 VDC source using an optional cable.

PC Connectivity via USB or EthernetAllows data transfer to the PC either in real time or from the GL800’s memory. Also allows complete configuration of the GL800.

PC Software Bundle IncludedThe GL800 includes a Windows application for direct capture, measurement, and monitoring of GL800 data. In addition to waveform and data value capture and display, the application can export data to an Excel file for further analysis and report creation. The software includes built-in help for quick reference.

Program the GL800 for Real-World Trigger ConditionsThe GL800 can adapt to just about any trigger condition you might encounter. Data recording can be stopped or started as a function of analog signal level, a definable alarm condition, an external event, or specific date and time. Beyond initiat-ing a data capture cycle, the GL800 can also be programmed to set a digital output to flag an external alarm condition. And after a trigger condition is executed you can program the GL800 to automatically rearm itself to wait for another trigger event, or stop entirely. You can even program the GL800 to detect and alarm on a thermocouple burnout condition. Here’s a summary of the GL800’s trigger and alarm features:

Flexible Computer Interfaces, and an Optional Battery PackThe GL800 provides the added benefit of PC connectivity to either a USB or Ethernet port. Both interfaces are standard, and the USB port doubles as a method to expand the GL-800’s internal 12 MB memory to a maximum 2 GB capacity us-ing standard USB flash memory. When either interface is connected to a PC you can upload measurement protocols to the GL800, monitor acquired data in real time, or download previously acquired data. The GL800’s Ethernet interface offers the advantage of allowing the GL800 to function as a Web server, allowing the GL800 to be manipulated from any web browser such as Firefox or Internet Explorer. Finally, an optional battery pack may be added to the GL800 to allow power-independent data recording whenever and wherever it’s required.

GL800 Analog Channel Expansion and Extension OptionsAdding more flexibility to where and how the GL800 can be deployed, the analog input screw terminal unit may be detached from the GL800 and located up to 23 inches away using the optional B-537 Extension Kit. If you need channel expansion beyond the 20 channels provided by the base GL800, then use one or more B-538 Expansion Kits (plus ONE B-537 Extension Kit) to expand your channel count in 20-channel increments to a maximum of two-hundred.

The Terminal Unit may be removed from the GL800...

…and Relocated up to 23 inches away using the B-537 Extension Kit

then use a B-538 Expansion kit to expand GL800 channel count to as many as 200

GL800 Display Quick-lookThe GL800’s keyboard and display are key components you’ll use for any typical data recording session. The display is a full color TFT LCD (thin-film transistor liquid crystal display), the same technology used in modern flat-panel televi-sions. The display measures 5.7 inches diagonally, and offers 320 x 240 pixels of bright, clear, high contrast resolution. The GL800’s keyboard allows full access to the instrument’s menu system as viewed through its display. Navigation is straightforward and intuitive using the keyboard’s navigation and ENTER keys that form the center of the array. Other keys support special operations that are clearly annotated.
